1. كَأَنَّ بِلادَ اللَهِ وَهيَ عَريضَةٌ

    عَلى الخائِفِ المَذعورِ كُفَّةُ حابِلِ

    As though God's lands, vast though they are,

    were a trapper's snare to the frightened, terrified man.

  2. يُؤَدّى إِلَيهِ أَنَّ كُلَّ ثَنِيَّةٍ

    تَيَمَّمَها تَرمي إِلَيهِ بِقاتِلِ

    He is told that every mountain pass

    he heads toward hurls a killer at him.
